Conception of future integrated smart mobility

The emerging information, communication and vehicle technologies (e.g. autonomous vehicle) facilitate launching of new service concept in urban passenger mobility covering current and future transportation modes. Boundaries between passenger transportation modes are blurred. The vehicle movements are to be connected and integrated to a unified smart mobility service, where the particular features of the modes are not determinant anymore. In order to model this new, entirely telematics-based system and service all the current urban travel modes have been compared according to several aspects and the alteration of transportation and information process has been presented. The functional model of this rather complex system has been elaborated following top-down approach of system engineering. The presented results are essential for the future, as several novel research fields can be derived from them.
